Grammy-winning DJ David Guetta has partnered with pop sensation Ava Max and iconic band Alphaville to reimagine the classic hit “Forever Young”. Released today, this modern take on the 80s anthem brings the timeless message of youth and freedom to a new generation of listeners, blending nostalgia with fresh EDM vibes.
Much like Guetta’s 2022 smash hit “I’m Good (Blue)” with Bebe Rexha, which skyrocketed to over 3 billion streams, the revival of “Forever Young” gained momentum on TikTok. The track has already inspired over 3 million TikTok creations, catapulting it into one of Warner Music Group’s biggest viral successes of the year. Earlier in 2024, the song even peaked at #42 on the Spotify Global Top 200 Daily Streams Chart, proving its widespread appeal.
Guetta’s fresh spin on the beloved classic features the powerful vocals of Ava Max, known for chart-topping hits like “Sweet but Psycho” and “Kings & Queens”. Her voice adds a new dimension to the song, making it the perfect fusion of the retro spirit of Alphaville with a modern EDM edge. The single became a festival favorite this summer, especially during Guetta’s F* ME I’M FAMOUS!** residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza. Fans were treated to a live performance when Ava Max joined Guetta on stage during the closing party, with clips from the performance quickly going viral across social media platforms.
An official “Live at Ushuaïa” version of the performance is set to drop on David Guetta’s YouTube channel this Friday, alongside the track’s full release. With this collaboration, “Forever Young” becomes not only a tribute to the past but also a major hit for the present EDM scene.
This single is just one of many highlights for Guetta in 2024. Earlier this year, he collaborated with OneRepublic on the massive hit “I Don’t Wanna Wait”, racking up over 600 million streams. He also teamed up with Afrojack on “Raving” and dropped “Never Going Home” with Alesso and Madison Love in September.
With “Forever Young”, David Guetta and Ava Max have crafted another sure-fire anthem, seamlessly blending the iconic sounds of the past with today’s dance music culture.
